Answer #1

What required return is implied by the constant growth model for a stock?

Answer: 11%

Formula for calculating required rate of return on equity (Ke) based on the dividend growth model is as follows

Ke = pi +g

Data provided in the Question are

D1 = Dividend in year 1 = $1.80

P0 = Price in year 0 = $25

g = Growth rate = 2% (i.e. 0.02)

Ke = pi +g

Ke       = ($1.80 ÷ $ 20) + 0.02

            =0.11

            =11%
